Reviews

"It is not likely that even the most dedicated reader of horror fiction will have found all of these stories in a year of diligent reading, and the thoroughness with which Jones has tracked down and made them available does much to support the 'best' boast of his book's title."
—Stefan Dziemianowicz
LOCUS Issue 640, May 2014

"This is the bible of horror short stories. There are several "Best Of" horror annuals, but this is the best . . . If you enjoy short stories then this is the definitive horror collection of the year."
—Adrian Brady
MORPHEUS TALES SUPPLEMENT #23

"Now in its twenty-fourth year, The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror makes for great reading. Its stories are just the right length, never outstaying their welcome, while frequently clever, creepy, funny and scary."
